Regency Romantic Warriors #1
Un Lieutenant à la Dérive
Lochiel Cameron, un lieutenant de 25 ans dans le 42e régiment écossais, doit escorter Élisabeth (Lizzie) Campbell d'Ayre à Édimbourg.
Lizzie doit épouser Lord John Montgomery, second fils de Jonathan Montgomery, Duc de Rothford.
Lord John déteste le fait qu'il a été forcé d'épouser Lizzie. La seule raison pour laquelle il n'annule pas ce mariage forcé, c'est qu'il deviendra le Marquis de Lorna et Kintyre à la mort de son père, s'il respecte la promesse que son père a faite à sa mère sur son lit de mort.
Lizzie Campbell, fille de Barry Campbell, Baron d'Ayre, est capricieuse et arrogante. Quand elle comprend que Lord John ne voulait pas se donner la peine de l'accompagner lui-même à Édimbourg, par vengeance, elle entame une relation avec Lochiel, qui continuera même après le serment de mariage entre elle et Lord John prononcé devant l'autel.
Après s'être conduit de façon débauchée avec Lizzie, Lord John retourne à Londres. Il laisse derrière lui à Édimbourg une Lizzie effondrée, qui aurait presque été une victime de son frère sournois, Lord Randolph, héritier du Duché, sans l'aide de sa fidèle servante Mattie et l'inquiétude de Lady Audrey Agnew, Comtesse de Loghaire.
Lizzie doit fuir Édimbourg quand elle découvre que ses nuits de passion avec Lochiel n'ont pas été sans conséquences.

This was a good read for me, the books tells of a girl with an arranged marriage where the proposed husband has little to no interest with her. The book outlines what happens to both of them as they both search for love and happiness.

It is the love story of a lonely girl who is promised in her childhood to the second son of a duke. Lord John does not take it at all gracefully to be married at 24 years to a 16 year old girl, however beautiful she is. In her disappointment about Lord John's non- interest in her, she starts an affair with the lieutenant who has to escort her to her wedding, both not knowing that he is the Duke's 'bastard' son. It is a story of despair at life in 1804 and 2 people trying to snatch some happiness. It is Regency romance in a realistic way, and the illustrations are helpful insights about life in this 19th century novel. Every lover of Regency Romance should read it!

A pity I happened to read novel 7, (About Officers and Gentlemen) which is the sequel in the sequel first. This is Lizzie Campbell as a young, spoilt girl, who takes advantages of Lochiel Cameron's horniness to revenge herself on her uninterested bridegroom Lord John. C. Hampton Jones seems to like twists and turns in her novels, not avoiding very sexy scenes. The illustrations give the novel something extra, I cannot help but like them. I especially go for the scenes between the elderly Duke of Rothford and the Countess of Loghaire, they are witty and romantic. Lovely new author!
